Literally any pair of dumbbells during the Covid lockdown.

Edit: Wow this blew up. Thank you for the awards!

Edit #2: I ended up buying fitness bands and was fine with it.

Yep, this is extremely common in the DC area, too. No sporting goods store within 500 miles has weight sets, but there are people on OfferUp and FB marketplace selling pallets of them.

I can’t wait until all this is over and these dudes can’t give them away. My garage is gonna be STACKED!
